This  little  volume  fk  designed  for  small  child- 
ren ;  and  the.  only  merit  the  author  claims,  is, 
tnat  it  is  adapted  to   the  young  mind. 

Since  children  very  rarely  learn  to  read  in  the 
Primer,  we  deem  it  unnecessary  to  take  up  much 
space  with   reading   lessons. 

The  competent  teacher  will  understand  how  to 
use  the  work. 

We  regret  to  make  a  book  for  children,  with- 
out pictures,  but  we  hope  to  do  better  for  the 
next  edition-.

DIXIE    PRIMER. 


MARY'S    LITTLE    LAMB. 


Mary  had    a  little   lamb, 

Its  fleece   was  white  as  snow  : 

And   every  where   that   Mary  went 
The  lamb    was  sure    to  go. 

Ho  followed   her  to  school  one   day 
Which  was    against    the  rule — 

It   made   the  children   laugh   and  play 
To  see  a   lamb  at  school. 

i         Sx>   the   teacher  turned  him   out.. 
But   still  he  lingered   near  ; 
And  waited   patiently  about. 
Till   Mary   did  appear. 

And   then  he   ran    to   her  and   laid 

His  head   upon  her  arm  ; 
As   if  he   said,   I'm   not   afraid, 

You'll    keep    me   from   all    harm. 


"I  WANT  TO  BE   AN  ANGEL. 

I  want   to   be  an   angel. 

And   with    the   angels    stand  ; 

A   crown   npon   my   forehead, 

•  A    harp   within    my  hand. 

Thejjp  right  before  the  Saviour 
So  glorious   and    so   bright  ; 

T'd   make   tie   sweetest  music, 
And   praise   him    day   and   ni^ht, 

I    never    should  bo   weary. 

Nor  ever-  shed  a   tear ; 
Nor   ever  know    a   sorrow, 

Nor   ever  feel   a  fear. 
But    blessed    pure  and   holy. 

I'd   dwell    in  Jesus'  sight ; 
And  with  ten    thousand   thousand, 

Praise  him   both    day  and  night. 

I   know   I'm  weak   and  sinful. 

But   J>sus  will   forgive. 
For  many  little    children 

Have  'gone   to  heaven  to  live, 
Dear  Saviour  when  I  languish. 

And   lay   me  down  to  die  -. 
0    send  a  shining   angel, 
»•  Tfi   bear  me  to  the  sky. 

O   there  Til   be  an  angel. 

And  with   the  augelB  stand  : 
"A   crown  upon  my  forehead, 

A   harp  within  .my    hanS. 
And   there   before  my   Saviour, 

So   glorious   and   so   bright. 
I'll  join   the  heavenly   music, 

And   praise   him   day   and  night.
